[copycat_00]

hi guys,

i'm a newbie The problem is that my blades cannot track..do i have to get a new blade?? the blade i'm using now crashed before but it still look's ok to me. And i still can't hover..Err..can someone teach me?? i can meet u guys. i live at bedok..

hey !! welcome .... btw there are alot of guys flying in bedok .... ok 1st thing first ... get some tape , both different colour but same kind then paste them exactly on the same spot of both blades ... spool up and see which is up / down.... say u used red and blue ... now for EG blue is down ... so u go to the blue blade (blade Grips) and tighten the ball link one turn or more if u see that the tracking is WAY off

hi bro,

First thing first.. did you crash this before, sound like you have a bend feathering shaft.. or your main shaft is bend too..

he crashed twice , replaced the feathering and main shaft liao so that means just the tracking lor

check your blade for balancing again, since you crash it before, may be way out.
btw, make sure there is no crack line on the wooden blade, not the plastic cover, you don't want it to broke off during a fly.

I had the same problem of not tracking and vibration right out of the box.

The tracking kept changing throughout the pitch range.
I have read that its a problem with the King.
I found that the damping is way too soft out of the box. I tightened the lock nuts on the spindle a couple more turns to stiffen the damping and it tracks dead on now.

On the white stock woodies, I find that black tape contrasts the best. Easy to see which blade is up or down.

As for the vibration, on mine it vibrates really bad at lower headspeeds.
But once I get the headspeed up its smoothens. The higher the headspeed the smoother it seems for mine at least. So i guess its just a resonance issue.

The vibration on my heli is that when on higher headspeed is bad but on lower headspeed is smooth. btw u stay at bedok area where do u fly??

[johndyl]

both blades shld be able to move abt in the grips equally and relatively easily/smoothly as well

Oh i see.... The blades could be unbalanced then..
Yeah I stay near TJC. I usually fly my Evo 50 at Tampines Ikea field.
For my king i just fly under my void deck..
